There have been cases when teams have had similar liveries. Possibly the worst was McLaren and Alfa Romeo when they both had nearly identical Marlboro liveries. But their number were easily read.

I remember in 1996 both Benetton and Tyrrell looked very similar as they both had predominantly white liveries with Mild Seven blue branding. Over the course of the season Benetton added more green to make the car easier to spot.

Last year's Sauber and Williams looked almost the same from the front. Both had similar lines and with some poor lighting/camera angle you had to look twice.

Wow, so far it's been a huge disappointment with the 3 liveries launched.

Haas could have had SO much potential with a kickass gold/black livery, but the bland wash they came up with puts anybody to sleep, and isn't worthy of even being mentioned in the same paragraph as JPS.

Toro Rosso's design department apparently took TWO years off now... it looks exactly like last year's (which looked exactly like the year before's)

And then, this Williams looks like it's been half spraypainted, before they changed their mind "oh ****, we should have just left it white".

Yup. I mean I get why they keep the main team livery consistent season to season for branding reasons. And I do like the current Toro Rosso iteration and the shade of the blue. But I don't understand why they would basically never play around with the 2nd team livery at all. That would be such an easy way to keep the B team at least a bit interesting. But meh, nope...

The car itself looks as nice as far as you can make the current bus-proportioned monster look, though.

Haas would have had so much potential with that black-gold-silver colour palette but wasted it by painting it a poor man's JPS instead. And as for the Williams, I actually don't hate the livery but I feel the baby blue would have looked just so much nicer with clean lines and a touch of the Williams dark blue, rather than the cheap gradient all over.

Funny, football teams bring out a new kit every season, basically the same colours with either the same or a different logo on it, and people don't seem to get too depressed about how disappointing/unimaginative/similar they are. Infact, loads of people go out and buy them and wear them, even though they look basically identical to the previous 8 they bought. We're a weird and difficult to please bunch!

But they do? Wasn't it last year that they switched to the current Red Bull Cola scheme and we all loved it? Now we already want it to change again just to be new? Why?
